Chrysanthemum maximum, Ramond. Fig. 936. This perennial species has narrower lvs. than C. lacustre, and they are narrowed at the base: height 1 ft.: st. more angled than the above, simple or branched at the very base, always 1-headed and leafless for 3—4 in. below the head: lower lvs. petioled, wedge-shaped at the base, or long- oblanceolate; the upper lvs. becoming few, lanceolate but usually not very prominently pointed, the teeth not very large or striking: pappus none: involucral scales narrower and longer, whitish-transparent at the margin, while those of C. lacustre are broader, more rounded at the apex, and with a light brown scarious margin. Pyrenees. J.H. III. 5:251. Gn. 26, p. 437; 73, p. 567. G. 5:445. G.M. 46:676. Var. Robinsonii, Hort., has finely cut or fringed rays, giving the bloom the appearance of a Japanese chrysanthemum. R. H. 1904:515. Var. Davidsii, Hort., has sts. of great length, suitable for cutting. Var. filiforme, Hort., has deeply serrate long and drooping rays. There are many other forms, differing in time of bloom as well as in habit and in form of fl. The Shasta daisy (said to be a hybrid) is an early-flowering very floriferous race, with several strains of fls., mostly large and pure white, although in one form the buds are reported as lemon-yellow but opening white; various sub-varieties are now offered. It is a good summer and autumn bloomer, and usually hardy in the northeastern states. CH
